Artist Info:
The Snow Queen<br />
by Jeannine Hall Gailey<br />
<br />
<br />
You tell yourself he only left you for her<br />
<br />
because of the wicked shard of glass in his eye,<br />
<br />
but the truth is, every man wants an ice princess.<br />
<br />
The truth is, you're too easy to get used to —<br />
<br />
<br />
your sloppy warmth, the heat from your skin<br />
<br />
fresh from the garden — it's too much for him.<br />
<br />
He'd rather marvel at her tedious snowflakes,<br />
<br />
caress her frosted hair, bask in that cold gaze,<br />
<br />
<br />
that veneer of symmetry. So you wander<br />
<br />
around town like an idiot, forgetting<br />
<br />
even your shoes. The boys there<br />
<br />
are all still in awe of her. "Did you see<br />
<br />
<br />
that thing she was driving?" they keep asking.<br />
<br />
You set off to bring him back, not thinking<br />
<br />
you are the last person he wants to see.<br />
<br />
"He's trapped in that ice castle," you murmur,<br />
<br />
<br />
"He needs to be rescued." Dogged, you follow<br />
<br />
the tiny shards of glass, and their sparkle.<br />
<br />
And when you finally find him, dark with cold<br />
<br />
from her brutal kisses, he doesn't even<br />
<br />
<br />
recognize you. You stop blaming the shard<br />
<br />
in his eye; how can you rescue a man<br />
<br />
whose heart, transfixed by skeletal crystal,<br />
<br />
craves the bruising of frost?<br />
<br />
<br />
